Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "I should apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30.”
SPF 30 is the recommended minimum for effective sun protection. It blocks about 97% of UVB rays.

B. "Sunscreen does not need to be applied on a cloudy day."
Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, so sunscreen is still necessary on cloudy days.

C. "A sunscreen is a better choice for my toddler than a sunblock."
Sunblock (physical blockers like zinc oxide) are often safer and more effective for young children than chemical sunscreens.

D. "I can expose my 3-month-old infant to the sun if I apply sunscreen."
Sunscreen is not recommended for infants under 6 months. They should be kept out of direct sunlight entirely.

A. Subcutaneous B. Intravenous C. Transdermal D. Oral

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Subcutaneous
Poor tissue perfusion in burn clients makes subcutaneous administration ineffective.

B. Intravenous
In the acute phase of major burns, the IV route is preferred for analgesia because of unreliable absorption from other routes due to poor tissue perfusion.

C. Transdermal
Damaged or burned skin will not absorb medications effectively.

D. Oral
Oral absorption may be delayed or unpredictable due to stress responses, NPO status, or ileus in critically ill burn clients.
